Automattic has released WordPress 2.8 officially. There are a few major improvements to the new version. 2.8 runs a lot faster and smoother thanks to new styling and scripting. You can now also browse the theme directory and install themes with one simple click. You can now edit plugins with CodePress, an enhanced editor with syntax highlighting, compared to the previous plain text editor. Also, you can now have multiple copies of widgets, and save inactive widget settings.
